November 2006 Update

Dear Friends,

I am writing from sunny Southern California (sorry…we missed the soaking rain) where Carlene and I have been with Jean Darnall, one of our 84 year old mentors.

Carlene: Thursday we attended Jean’s noon service at Jack Hayford’s original church. She was standing near the pulpit radiantly worshipping and delivered a message with such zeal and passion and as applicable today as when she preached her first healing meeting as a young 15-year-old girl in the mountains of West Virginia. I thought of the verse...love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. She gives 110%. I was so thankful to God for blessing her. I will treasure that picture forever in my heart. The next day we were off to a mountain retreat for two days ministering to Korean students. It is at these times I so wish we could travel with the team from River. The richness in spirit and music you all add is so comforting to us. We often feel a tad bit "out there" without you. Insecure but we press in and He is faithful to guide us. Sunday morning we were downtown LA in Korea Town. Darrell spoke and played Christmas music on their piano. He always does a good job sharing.

Darrell: I spoke at Pastor David Kim’s New Life Oasis church on God’s promise and desire that as we humble ourselves and seek His face and worship Him, He will heal our land. You may remember one of my primary assignments during my trip to China/NK was to collect soil from North and South Korea and merge the samples as a prophetic gesture for healing. Pastor David and I laid hands on this soil and as he was praying, I heard the Holy Spirit speak a gentle word of encouragement and challenge. He said:

“You were obedient in this gathering of the soil as a demonstration of my purpose to bring healing to North Korea. It’s much cleaner to keep this soil preserved in a little plastic bag…you might be tempted to memorialize it as a token of something yet to happen. But I have called you to pour it out…don’t be afraid…. get your hands dirty. This soil will remain just a representative of fertile ground of promise unless you pour it out and plant a seed for fruitful harvest.”

This 2nd Sunday evening of November at the Glenn Otto Park in Troutdale, we will gather together and worship. Our focus is the “forever” nature of God’s Kingdom and Promise. His eternal word will never pass away. I believe the Lord wants to pour out His blessing and favor on our gathering. Let’s let Him soak the fertile soil of our hearts with the rain of His Presence. We welcome you.

Darrell and Carlene
